Dependent Origination and Emptiness
Su Liu observed Lu Qi for a while, sighing in her heart.
Lu Qi's soul actually had a very lucky life, but his body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex. Because he unscrupulously killed loyal people, he entered the stage of settling the consequences of his evil deeds early. If Su Liu did not make him a mechanical vampire to eliminate his karma, he would not even be qualified to be a human being in his next life.
Su Liu clapped her hands and Lin Miao walked out from the darkness.
"Let's start," Su Liu nodded.
At this point, even if Lu Qi was stupid, he could tell something was wrong. "Bitch, what do you want to do?"
As he said that, he was about to rush out to find his father.
Boss Lou didn't move. When Lu Qi was about to rush out of the prison door, he used the power of the ancestor to freeze him.
Lin Miao walked forward and, with her usual indifferent face, injected a small tube of light pink medicine into Lu Qi's jugular vein without any expression.
That's vampire anesthetic.
Lu Qi's eyes soon became blurred and he slowly fell asleep on the ground.
Boss Lou also closed his eyes at the same time and took Su Liu into Lu Qi's dream.
They have to capture Lu Qi's spirit in his dream and put it into the "Dilapidated Hotel" level-breaking game.
Lu Qi's dream was very strange.
The most memorable day in his life was actually a summer night with cicadas chirping.
Lu Qi, dressed in coarse linen clothes, looked very young, seemingly less than twenty years old.
He sat side by side with a boy who was a few years younger than him, and the two of them looked at the stars and chatted.
"Brother Aqi, do you think our resistance can win?" The boy's innocent yet drunken voice revealed a hint of confusion.
"Only by moving forward can we know whether we can win. If we stop here, we won't even be qualified to compete for victory or defeat," said Lu Qi.
"I really want to win, just this once, okay? I haven't married yet, I'm still so young," the boy prayed to the sky and then cried.
Lu Qi wanted to cry as well, but he was older after all, so he forced himself to be strong and calm, "Why are you crying, an Alpha? It's okay, I'll protect you..."
At this moment, the clouds in the sky moved.
The scene changed.
Young Lu Qi and his comrades died in the battle with the vampires.
Before the two fell, they both tried their best to protect each other from injuries, but they were vampires. How could humans survive under the claws of vampires?
"Brother Aqi, I want to live an easier life in my next life. I don't want to be a rebel anymore. I'm in so much pain and so tired..." The boy's throat was full of blood and his voice was unclear.
But Lu Qi still heard it clearly.
Lu Qi said, "Okay, then I wish you a happy family, become a small boss, open your own shop, and live a free and ordinary life."
The boy laughed. He looked at Lu Qi for the last time and closed his eyes.
Lu Qi stared blankly in the direction of the young man for a long time, his eyes filled with despair as he waited for death.
He thought to himself at that time: In my next life, I won't be a rebel. I will make a great wish. I want to become a powerful person, I want to be a vampire, I want to solve the root of this unequal world...
Su Liu opened her eyes.
If he felt sorry for Lu Qi before, now he just felt heartbroken.
Who did Lu Qi kill?
Is he a pariah?
Is it an ant?
No.
Neither.
That is.
This is the person he wanted to protect most in his previous life!
According to the "blessings exchange" rules of this world, becoming a powerful person is not that easy, so...
Oh my god.
He didn't even have the heart to tell Lu Qi.
Let Lu Qi find the answer himself in the reincarnation copy of the "dilapidated hotel"...
Su Liu covered her chest.
He didn't expect that what was hidden in Lu Qi's subconscious mind was something that happened many, many years ago.
At that time, more than half of the rebels were human Alphas.
It was also the most intense struggle of the resistance army.
Boss Lou put his arm around Su Liu, and the two vampires walked silently towards the dungeon exit.
In the cell, Lin Miao looked at Lu Qi thoughtfully.
He obviously couldn't figure out what unscientific method Su Liu used.
This topic will probably take him a lifetime to study.
At this moment, Lu Qi opened his eyes again, his eyes were pure and innocent. He was looking at Lin Miao curiously, with dependence in his eyes.
A mechanical vampire whose soul has been extracted will obey the first person he sees when he opens his eyes.
"Stand up and turn around," Lin Miao ordered coldly.
So, Lu Qi really turned around in a cute way.
Lin Miao curled his lips slightly in satisfaction and took away his first mechanical vampire.
On the other side, Su Liu, who came out of the dungeon, took a deep breath and felt a little better in the area of his heart.
I have seen you, but you don’t recognize me.
Everything is empty and void.
The fish swims in the bowl, it is both the tail and the head.
Who is the tail and who is the head?
Lu Qi reincarnated twice, but he was unable to protect the person he wanted to protect most in the depths of his soul.
This is the suffering of samsara.
Su Liu disguised himself and asked Boss Lou to take him to Xiucheng. He wanted to meet the person killed by Lu Qi.
Xiucheng is very big, where corruption and extravagance coexist. It is a city where people are eaten without leaving any bones.
This was not the first time Su Liu had set foot on the soil of Xiucheng.
But there was still a sense of solemnity and bitterness in the air.
The latest trial results are posted on the bulletin board at the city gate.
People gathered in front, discussing something in groups.
"...Fake knife? Who are you trying to fool? Do you really think we ordinary people are fools?"
"Officials protect each other, it's very dark."
"Is that Lu guy really that innocent? Is he mentally retarded? Or has he been suffering from a cerebral thrombosis for ten years? He actually believed everyone else's conspiracy to deceive him?"
"Isn't it strange that people who have nothing in common suddenly get together to drink?"
"...most likely he's attracted to the shop owner's shop and wants to get something for nothing. Tsk, what a wicked man."
"We've been protesting for almost a month, and all we've caught are a few small fish and shrimp. It's ridiculous!"
"...Aren't all the powerful people like this? When something goes wrong, they look for someone else to take the blame. They dare to do something but not take responsibility. They are really cowardly."
"Is there still law? Is there still justice?"
"Haha, they say they've locked up all the people involved, but who knows how long it will take for them to be released."
Hearing this, Su Liu also stepped forward and joined the verbal battle, "What kind of world is this? Has this newly appointed king been in cahoots with the Lu family for a long time? I heard that the crown was given by the Lu family."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone echoed them. It was obvious that everyone knew the answer but was just too embarrassed to say it directly. Once someone spoke first, they immediately had a better outlet to vent.
“…No wonder they are in cahoots with each other.”
"They really don't treat us civilians as human beings. They kill whoever they want without even giving a proper explanation!"
"Such a shocking case is being handled so hastily?"
"I trusted the new king so much and regarded him as a guiding light, but he simply..."
Su Liu guided public opinion to avoid a direct confrontation between the people and the Lu family, and then quietly left the crowd.
At this time, Lu Liang's brother found Su Liu and asked, "Your Majesty, their curses are so harsh, why don't you arrest a few of them and lock them up?"
"......" Su Liu was speechless. These people were so stupid that they could only cover their mouths when something happened, as if they had never been to school. "Can't the public have reasonable suspicion? Or, are you also involved in that incident? Why are you so guilty?"
Lu Liang's brother's forehead was covered with sweat, and he explained weakly: "Lu family, we prosper together and suffer together."
"I saw that you seemed to have issued a notice without my knowledge a few days ago, saying that several rumor-mongers were arrested. Where are they? I'll go and ask them. How come they made up the rumors as if they were at the scene? Could they be the parties involved in this incident?" Su Liu smiled lightly.
"No one was arrested. Those who caused trouble were from 'Dawn of Tomorrow'. They escaped too quickly and we couldn't catch them, so we just made up some names and lied about them... It was... to intimidate the people," Lu Liang's brother said embarrassedly.
"What a clever little thing," Su Liu almost laughed out of anger.
"But...they cursed me so harshly, and even said something about Your Majesty...that you got to where you are today by sleeping with others...and that Lu Qi is your lover, so you are deliberately protecting him. You are a lowly bastard..." When he said this, Lu Liang's brother blushed.
"You're an Omega, and you're secretly a whore," Su Liu said suddenly.
"What?" Lu Liang's brother was stunned.
"How do you feel when I say you are a bitch?" Su Liu said calmly.
"I... I'm not. This is ridiculous. I'm... an Alpha. I'm a pure-blooded vampire. I'm still a virgin. I... I don't have the hobby of being a whore." Lu Liang's brother stammered.
"Isn't that right? They said I like Lu Qi, so let them say it. No matter how many times they say it, it will never become reality. Why should I be angry? Why should I cover their mouths? What's fake can't become real, and what's real can't become fake." Su Liu's tone was still calm.
“…Maliciously making up stories about the nobility is extremely disrespectful,” Lu Liang’s brother said angrily.
He didn't know whether he really felt sorry for Su Liu, or because Su Liu had just indirectly called him a bitch.
"Just be content. The people just want a relatively acceptable 'truth'. If they want it, we'll give it to them," Su Liu didn't want to discuss this topic anymore.
Perhaps it was because this world had been ruled by the powerful vampire race for too long, so most humans had been exploited to the point where they could only curse. In stark contrast to the Lu family's anger, Su Liu felt that these people were so well-behaved and sensible that it made him feel distressed. In his world, those unfilial people would be no pushovers.
If this kind of thing happened, people would have already paraded the people through the streets, blown up the people, and turned the world upside down, everyone craving unrest. Who could be as foolish and naive as the people in this world? The most outrageous thing they would do is stop a carriage on the road, file a complaint, and then wait for the powerful to have a change of heart and surrender themselves...
Su Liu and his people from the original world fought a battle of wits and courage for tens of thousands of years before they could barely maintain a relative balance. Even so, they used some ancient metaphysics to deduce his birth and used the Dragon Trapping Formation to control him since he was very young, preventing him from awakening and completing his mission.
Perhaps it is because the people in this world are so kind and innocent that he uses the power that he has not used in his original world to help him upgrade his dimension.
"What you need to do now is to maintain stability. Let them scold us. We did not do well, and that is a fact," Su Liu gave the final instruction and took Boss Lou to the family where the funeral was being held.
